Help appreciated for our first match at Halliwell Jones : Tue Mar 01, 2011 9:30 pm  

I am an exiled Leeds fan living in Nantwich with a 14 year old step-son... who has never seen a live RL match (he is RU indoctrinated - poor lad ).

I am planning to bring him along Saturday and would appreciate some advice as to where to sit ( would prefer not to be behind goals ), costs, what time to arrive for paying on gate etc. Somewhere good to get burger etc ? Parking ? Any other useful advice.

As it's his first ever game I am relying on this match being a good, competitive, attractive open game with great tries and a close result (in Leeds' favour of course)...thus showing him all that's the best about RL. Don't let me down.

east stand is the family stand but is behind sticks, that just leaves the north with seats, as the south is standing along with the west. prices... go to club wesite you'll find complete list.
enjoy!

Thanks mate...that's great. Will the North stand be mixed supporters or just Wolves fans ? I am assuming there will be friendly rivalry and banter as I have told him to expect.

You'll be fine. Ask for the West end of the North stand. There will be a few Leeds fans down that end. Enjoy your visit and enjoy the game...

There's an NCP very close to the stadium which is reasonably big but you could face a wait to get out. As a risk you can park at Cockhedge shopping centre (which is where I always park), but I believe the general advice is not to do this in case they get a bit upset (they never have with me, but then my car isn't adorned with club flags!)

There won't be any Leeds fans in the North Stand. You may only be looking at front row seats though for the North.

I thought they always gave some of the North stand to away teams. Just seems that way from being in there. Although that may have stopped now.

Doubt very much there will be any pay on the gate for this game.
